On a desktop it is possible, for a laptop a bit more difficult, although 
you can always plug in a usb keyboard... No, come to think about it, it 
should on all systems be possible. Only I would expect that it would 
take at least 5 generations for MS to get right. If on Vista it already 
works that could be an indication that MS has changed it's testing 
procedures. That reminds me that on this Vista system the exceptions 
during filecopy also finally are handled in a useful way. Something 
fishy going on. Anybody knows more?
